get_endpoint

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It only repeats that the tool 'gets detailed information,' which is already implied by the name, and does not disclose what the returned details contain, whether it reads the spec file, or how verbosity affects the result.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It could include more usage or behavioral context, but for its length it is efficient and every word contributes to the core meaning.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The operation is simple and the input schema is thorough, but there is no output schema and no annotation coverage. The description does not specify what 'detailed information' includes, how verbosity changes the response, or how this tool relates to spec_load, leaving some important context absent.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema documents all four parameters meaningfully. The description adds no extra semantic value beyond saying 'specific API endpoint,' but it does not need to compensate because the schema already covers the parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a clear verb and resource: get detailed information about a specific API endpoint. It conveys the targeted nature of the operation, which distinguishes it from list/search siblings, though it does not explicitly name them.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The wording 'specific API endpoint' implies this is for retrieving one endpoint's details rather than listing or searching, but the description gives no explicit guidance about when to prefer this over spec_load, list_endpoints, or search_endpoints.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
